Dept. Q

I'm so glad I gave Dept Q a chance because I couldn't stop watching it. I binged through all 9 episodes in just a few days. Dept Q is about brilliant cop named Carl Morck (Matthew Goode) who nobody seems to like. He's given the job to head up a new department full of misfits solving Edinburg's cold cases. It's a very compelling and gritty crime thriller that will keep you entertained throughout the season. There are some parts that are a little drawn out and a few too many flashbacks but for the most part it's a great new series from Netflix. I hope they plan on doing multiple seasons because it's that good.

I can't stop watching it and I'm hoping for a Season 2. It rivals "Broadchurch" as one of the best cop/mystery series I've seen in a long time on any channel.

It has an amazing cast all-around and their chemistry and timing are spot-on. Very witty, fast and sarcastic writing/dialogue, but unfortunately they rely on using the F-word way too much. Plot is solid with lots of sub-plots on most characters that are equally interesting. Not many action scenes but it didn't matter because the plot and acting were so good. I thoroughly enjoyed this show and watched it all in four days. Big hit for Netflix.

Finally something of quality from Netflix! There is so much trash on this streaming service anymore.

This crime series had us coming back each night, we limited ourselves to 2 episodes a night until the last night when we finished the last 3 episodes. The relationships between the team members is at the core of the success of this drama. Carl and Akram work so well together. Akram is just the coolest guy! There is some deeply graphic violence at times. Bizarre psychological trauma that shows the worst in family dynamics. Absolutely insane characters. Lots of side stories to keep you guessing until the end. Can't wait to see if there's a Season 2!

I have to say that Dept Q. Was actually better than I expected. There are a hundred new police shows that come out every year and even though I really enjoy them, with so many to choose from, one would really have to stand out in order to get peoples attention to watch it. Dept Q did that by all the great reviews it's been getting and how it's been at the top of Netflix's most watched list since it came out. I admit I watch a lot of tv and only do reviews on shows I like, I'm not going to waste my time reviewing something I don't like, I'll just give it a bad rating and move on. Dept Q is good enough to leave a review in hopes others will see all the good reviews and give it a chance. Matthew Goode is great here. I haven't seen a lot of Goode's work but the things I've seen him in (The Crown, The Offer, The Imitation Game, Watchmen, The Kings Man, Allied) he's been good in. This role was made for him and probably the best of his career. I hope this show finds others like it did me because it's worth the time.

I've watched maybe most of crime/detective series and this one is capturing you from the start till the end. Not many connects the spectator to the characters and the subject as this one. The variety of characters' personalities makes the series versatile clinging more to it. Thrilling and addictive being makes me hope to see many seasons to come with this quality. Well done guys! Thank you for making series like this and executing greatly. Having watched too many crime series, I guessed the killer a bit sooner than I'd preferred. My only criticism would be that next season can be a bit more surprising. Nevertheless it still gave me thrilling butterflies till the end.
